5.0 out of 5 stars The Shape of Synthpop, November 18, 2006

By	Mark Lange "Marken" (MN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Meanwhile (Audio CD)

I became hooked on "synthpop" during the middle-late '70s. I have continued to listen to similar forms of music since then, deveiating into contemporary "techno pop" or "electronica". I sense the references of Camouflage to Depeche Mode and Erasure. I find that they coincidently occupy the same space; they present "sound shapes" that are incredibly similar. Perhaps there is in fact a genre here in the form of music they compose? Can we admit that at least?

1.0 out of 5 stars not worth any amount of $$$, February 3, 2006

By	D. Brimhall (Salt Lake City, Ut. U.S.A.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I own the first three albums camouflage put out. After listening to this cd I stopped following the band. With this album they've abandoned every aspect of why I liked them in the first place. When the they first appeared on the scene they were doing "depeche mode" better than the band itself. This cd is garbage and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone no matter what kind of musical taste you have. Stick with "voices & images" or
"methods of silence" and pass this one by!

4.0 out of 5 stars Worthy but different entry in the Camouflage collection, April 1, 2008

By	M. Jensen "Professional Appreciator" (St. George, Utah) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

At the very least Camouflage is a curious band. There's no getting around the obvious comparison, snyth-pop in the vein of Depeche Mode, no doubt. That said, "Camo" has tapped into some great tunes over the years and somehow they keep reinventing themselves. Reinvention seems to be the theme of Meanwhile. While the band has majored in synth-pop they have minored in experimentation and Meanwhile seems to be their greatest example of both experimentation and reinvention. Not every tune on Meanwhile is worthwhile but the good ones are very good and take Camouflage into territory I wish they'd journey into more often. I can see how a non-fan would call this a "throw away" album as some of the tracks lack any sense of direction. However, fans of Marcus Meyn's smooth vocals will find a few stand-out tracks like "Seize Your Day," "Heaven (I Want You)" and "This Day" unusually listenable if not downright great. Great in a different way from any other Camouflage songs during their 20-plus year history. Sort of acoustic but not really--sort of synth-pop, but not really--but good, definitely.
